Hello Brian

 

[BrianB]

Well Morla has settled in quite nicely, eating good and being very active! I also sunk the food bowl down into the substrate to prevent accidental roll overs

welcome youre in great hands here! we have some great people always willing to help and some who have owned sulcatas for years

i know most of the time people highly recommend terracotta dishes buried in substrate for water and a slate for feeding

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I'm a bit late here, too.
But a very warm welcome to Tortoise Forum to you Brian and also to the beautiful Morla.
